Abstract
This paper provides an overview of changes that have occurred within the Bad Blue Boys fan group in the last decade as a result of clashes with the GNK Dinamo management. The dynamics of this relationship are studied through the concepts of political non-participation and action through civil society and within the Against Modern Football Movement. This study used a qualitative methodology, and 11 in-depth interviews were conducted with members of the Bad Blue Boys fan group. The study established a weakening in group cohesion in the last ten years and the beginnings of action through the sphere of civil society. The most significant project resulting from this, and which is driven by these concepts, is Futsal Dinamo. This, in combination with the element of nostalgia, is a novelty for the Bad Blue Boys fan group.
